Inmates have 'miracle' baby after using air vent to get pregnant just 'like the Virgin Mary'

So many questions...

A South Florida inmate has opened up about how she got pregnant by another inmate without ever meeting him.

Daisy Link is currently in Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade, and has been since 2022, when she was convicted of second-degree murder.

However, during her time behind bars, the 29-year-old has ended up having a baby with another inmate who she's allegedly never met in person.

Joan Depaz, 24, is also being held in the correctional center on murder charges, and he and Link first struck up a relationship talking to one another through air conditioning vents in their cells.

Link told WSVN you can 'knock' on the vents and 'hear the people from different floors', and 'being in isolation for so long you begin to spend hours and hours talking' to people. The inmate noted it felt like she and Depaz were 'in the same room'.

Depaz explained he's 'always really wanted to have a baby' but as a result of his charges, knew he wasn't going to 'get to do that for a really long time', and so asked Link if she wanted to try.

And they certainly thought outside the box - or should I say, cell.

Depaz explained he told Link about a way his friend has showed him 'through the vent'.

"Because the vents is like a L-shape, really. It drops right into my vent, from her room, she could throw a pen into the vent and it’ll land right into my vent," he explained.

Link continued: "We had figured out a way to drop the line. It was a line that we had established out of like bedding material."

So, Depaz put his deposit of Semen in a bit of plastic 'every day like five times a day for like a month straight,' Link adding he'd 'roll it up almost like a cigarette' and then attach it to a line they made through the vent.

Link then 'placed it inside [some] yeast infection applicators' and then 'administered' it into herself.

And so, despite 'never' physically touching each other - 'like the Virgin Mary', Depaz noted - Link ended up falling pregnant.

The paternity test indeed proved Depaz as being the father of Link's child.

Despite how impossible it seems - and Link's mom doubting the story behind the conception - medical director of the Fertility Center of Miami, Dr Fernando Akerman, has confirmed it is possible for Link to have become pregnant in such a way.

Dr Akerman said: "We estimate that probably their chances were less than five percent, but that is not to say that the chances were zero. So this is absolutely a case that is exceedingly unusual. To my knowledge I’ve never heard or read anything like this."

Link gave birth to the pair's child on June 19, and the child now lives with Depaz's mom. The parents are now housed in separate jails and able to see their daughter on video visits.

The Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center released a statement which reads: "The care, safety and rehabilitation of all those in our custody remains our top priority. And while there is no evidence of sexual battery against our inmate at this time, the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy are currently under active investigation."

UNILAD has contacted the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center for comment.
